The Department of Energy is proposing to provide funding to the state of Wisconsin to install transfer switches and associated wiring at approximately 175 fueling stations, both private and municipal, throughout Wisconsin. The proposed project would allow the identified sites to be prewired for a generator. In times of power outages, an emergency electric generator would then be brought onsite to allow the station to operate its fuel dispensers so emergency vehicles could refuel. The switch would isolate the generator from the electrical grid to prevent back-feed electricity into local distribution circuits. The transfer switches would range in sizes, generally 2’x2’ or 3’x3’, and would be wired to the station’s electrical service panel, and placed inside the fueling stations.
